?"-    ISTORY  OF  THE 
0  CORCORAN  GALLERY 


OF  ART. 


The  Corcoran  Gallery  of  Art,  including 
ground,  building,  its  contents,  and  endowment  fund,  is  the 
gift  of  the  late  Mr.  William  Wilson  Corcoran  to  the  public.  In 
his  own  words  to  the  Trustees  to  whom  the  property  was 
deeded  May  lo,  1869,  ''it  was  designed  for  the  encouragement 
of  the  Fine  Arts;"  and  in  the  deed  the  object  of  the  Institution 
is  stated  as  "the  perpetual  establishment  and  encouragement 
of  Painting,  Sculpture,  and  the  Fine  Arts  generally,"  with  the 
condition  that  it  should  be  open  to  visitors  without  any  pecu- 
niary charge  whatever  at  least  two  days  in  each  week,  with 
authority  to  charge  for  admission  at  other  times  such  moderate 
and  reasonable  fee  as  may  be  prescribed,  the  proceeds  arising 
therefrom  to  be  applied  to  the  current  expenses  of  the  Institu- 
tion. 

The  Institution  was  chartered  by  act  of  Congress  May  24, 
1870.  By  that  act  the  building  and  its  contents  were  declared 
exempt  from  all  taxation. 

The  building  was  designed  by  Mr.  James  Renwick,  architect, 
and  begun  in  1859,  but  before  completion,  early  in  1861,  it  was

8  HISTORY   OF  THE   CORCORAN   GALLERY   OF   ART. 

occupied  by  the  United  States  Quartermaster-General's  Depart- 
ment until  1869. 

On  the  loth  of  May,  1869,  its  owner  placed  it  in  the  hands 
of  a  board  of  nine  Trustees  for  the  purposes  already  named. 
After  the  Institution  was  incorporated  by  Congress,  in  1870,  the 
general  work  of  reconstruction  and  adaptation  of  the  building 
to  its  original  purpose  was  begun,  and  finished  in  1871. 

On  the  22d  of  February,  1871,  Mr.  Corcoran  gave  a  grand 
ball  and  reception  in  the  building  in  honor  of  the  day,  the  pro- 
ceeds of  which  he  presented  to  the  fund  of  the  Washington 
Monument  Society.  In  1873  a  Trustee  went  to  Europe  em- 
powered to  purchase  works  of  art  for  the  Gallery,  and  Mr. 
Corcoran's  private  collection  of  pictures  and  statuary  was  then 
placed  in  it.  On  November  6,  1873,  the  Board  of  Trustees 
completed  the  organization  of  the  Institution. 

On  the  19th  of  January,  1874,  the  Picture  Galleries,  Octagon 
Room,  and  the  Hall  of  Bronzes  were  thrown  open  for  private 
exhibition  by  day  and  night,  Mr.  Corcoran  receiving  the  con- 
gratulations of  his  friends  upon  the  fulfilment  thus  far  of  his 
munificent  plans. 

On  April  29,  1874,  the  Halls  of  Sculpture  and  of  Bronzes  were 
opened  to  the  public,  and  in  December,  1874,  the  two  side 
galleries  of  sculpture  adjoining  the  Main  Hall;  so  that  all  the 
rooms  of  the  Institution  for  exhibition  purposes  were  then 
opened  to  the  public.

SCRIPTION    OF 

THE     BUILDING 


The  building  stands  on  the  north- 
east corner  of  Pennsylvania  avenue 
and  Seventeenth  street,  fronting  io6'  7"  on  the  Avenue  and 
125'  6"  on  Seventeenth  street.  It  is  two  stories  in  height, 
in  the  Renaissance  style,  built  of  brick,  with  brown-stone 
facings  and  ornaments,  a  Mansard  roof  rising  10  feet,  hav- 
ing a  large  central  pavilion  and  a  smaller  one  at  each  corner 
facing  the  streets.  The  front,  under  the  main  and  corner  pa- 
vilions, is  divided  into  recesses  by  pilasters  with  foliated  capitals, 
and  is  ornamented  with  wreaths,  with  the  monogram  of  the 
founder,  and  over  the  central  pavilion  is  the  inscription :  *'  Ded- 
icated to  Art." 

In  the  central  pediment  is  a  large  bronze  medallion  profile 
portrait  of  Mr.  Corcoran,  with  decorations  of  foliage,  and  on 
the  tops  of  the  two  columns  are  bronze  groups  of  children 
holding  garlands,  and  the  emblems  of  architecture  and  music. 

On  the  front  of  the  building  are  four,  and  on  the  side  seven 
niches  with  statues  7  feet  high.  The  first  group  contains 
those  of  Phidias,  Raphael,  Michael  Angelo,  and  Albert  Durer; 
the   latter   those   of   Titian,    Da  Vinci,    Rubens,    Rembrandt, 


DESCRIPTION   OF   THE   BUILDING.  I  1 

Murillo,  Canova,  and  Crawford.  They  were  executed  by  M. 
Ezekiel,  a  native  artist.  The  bronze  medallion  of  Mr.  Corcoran 
and  the  groups  of  children  are  also  his  works. 

A  pair  of  colossal  bronze  Lions,  one  at  either  side,  rest  upon 
the  stone  coping  of  the  steps  at  the  entrance  to  the  building. 
These  were  cast  from  moulds  made  over  the  famous  lions  by 
Canova,  at  the  tomb  of  Clement  XIII,  in  St.  Peter's,  Rome. 

In  the  rear  of  the  Gallery  and  facing  upon  Seventeenth  street 
is  a  building  24  feet  wide  and  extending  back  106  feet,  erected 
during  the  summer  of  1889,  for  the  accommodation  of  the  Cor- 
coran School  of  Art.  This  building  is  one  story  high  in  front, 
which  portion  contains  three  class-rooms,  each  lighted  by  an 
ample  skylight.  In  the  rear,  on  the  first  floor,  is  a  room 
24  X  44  feet,  which  communicates  with  the  Sculpture  Hall  of 
the  Gallery,  and  contains  the  Tayloe  Collection,  bequeathed  to 
the  Gallery  by  Mrs.  B.  O.  Tayloe,  of  Washington,  D.  C.  Over 
this  is  a  room  of  the  same  size,  for  the  life  class  of  the  School. 

INTERIOR   OF   THE   BUILDING. 

On  each  side  of  the  inner  stairway  a  corridor,  lighted  from 
the  open  courts,  leads  to  the  vestibule  of  the  Main  Hall  of 
Sculpture,  with  which  the  vestibule  communicates  through 
three  arched  entrances.  This  Hall,  95  x  24  feet,  is  lighted  by 
windows  on  the  north  side,  and  opens  into  two  adjoining  gal- 
leries of  sculpture  on  the  east  side  of  the  building  and  into  the 
room  containing  the  Tayloe  Collection.  On  the  west  side  it 
opens  into  the  Hall  of  Bronzes,  &c.,  62  x  19  feet.  This  last 
also  communicates  with  the  Trustees'  room.  The  central  por- 
tion of  the  ceiling  of  this  Hall,  panelled  and  richly  decorated,  is 
supported  by  four  Corinthian  columns,  with  gilt  capitals.  The 
height  of  this  story  is  19'  9". 

The  Picture  galleries  are  in  the  second  story.  The  ascent  to 
the  main  gallery  is  a  notable  feature  of  the  building.     The  stair- 


12  DESCRIPTION   OF  THE   BUILDING. 

way  leads  to  an  upper  landing,  with  decorated  arched  ceiling, 
and  Corinthian  pilasters  dividing  the  arched  recesses  over  the 
eight  windows,  with  spaces  between. 

The  Main  Picture  Gallery  is  95  feet  by  44  feet,  with  a  height 
of  24  feet  to  the  cornice  of  the  arched  ceiling,  and  38  feet  to  the 
inner  skylight.  The  ceiling  is  richly  frescoed  and  gilded.  The 
scroll-work  decoration  is  in  the  Italian  style  of  the  i6th  cen- 
tury. In  the  middle  of  the  panel  opposite  the  main  entrance 
is  the  figure  of  Minerva,  and  in  the  middle  of  the  other  panels 
the  muses  of  Sculpture,  Painting,  and  Architecture,  all  full 
length.  Between  them  are  medallion-portraits  of  Giulio  Ro- 
mano, Titian,  Raphael,  Rubens,  Van  Dyck,  Durer,  M.  Angelo, 
Holbein,  Murillo,  Cranach,  Teniers,  and  Da  Vinci.  Between 
the  brackets  of  the  cornice  are  the  names  and  dates  of  forty-six 
painters  of  different  countries,  from  Cimabue  to  Fortuny.  This 
decorative  work  was  done  by  Mr.  Vincenzo  Stiepevich.  All 
of  the  picture  galleries  are  lighted  from  the  roof,  and  supplied 
with  ample  electric  lights  for  night  exhibitions. 

On  the  east  and  west  sides  of  the  building  the  Main  Gallery 
opens  into  smaller  ones,  and  these  again  into  two  corner  gal- 
leries in  the  front  of  the  building.  Between  the  corner  galle- 
ries, and  immediately  opposite  the  entrance  to  the  Main  Gal- 
lery, is  the  Octagon  Room.  It  has  a  skylight,  but  is  chiefly 
lighted  by  a  south  window,  suitably  screened,  and  contains  a 
number  of  marble  busts,  with  the  Greek  Slave,  by  Hiram 
Powers,  as  the  central  ornament. 

The  Gallery  is  open  every  day  (Sundays,  the  Fourth  of  July, 
and  Christmas  day  excepted),  from  9.30  A.  M.  to  4  P.  M.  from 
October  ist  to  May  ist,  and  from  9  A.  M.  to  4  P.  M.  from  May 
ist  to  October  ist.  On  other  public  holidays  from  10  A.  M. 
to  2  P.  M. 

On  holidays  and  Tuesdays,  Thursdays,  and  Saturdays  the 
admittance  is  free.

and  saw  one  coming  with  wings  towards  me.  So  he  came  directly  to  me,  and 
said,  '  Mercy,  what  aileth  thee  ?  '  Now,  when  he  had  heard  me  make  my  com- 
plaint, he  said,  '  Peace  be  to  thee  ! '  He  also  wiped  my  eyes  with  his  handkerchief, 
and  clad  me  in  silver  and  gold.  He  put  a  chain  about  my  neck,  and  ear-rings  in 
my  ears,  and  a  beautiful  crown  upon  my  head."

COUNT  EBERHARD  OF  WURTEMBERG  (THE  WEEPER). 

65x76. 

ARY  SCHEFFER. 

The  subject  of  this  picture  is  as  follows:  Uliich,  son  of  Count  Eberhard,  had 
lost  the  battle  of  Reutlingen,  and  was  dangerously  wounded.  Many  of  the  no- 
bility were  slain.  On  his  recovery  he  leisurely  sought  his  father,  at  Stuttgard, 
and  found  him  over  his  solitary  meal.  He  was  coldly  received.  Not  a  word 
was  spoken.  With  downcast  eyes  he  placed  himself  opposite  his  father.  Fish 
and  wine  were  served  to  him.  The  old  count  seized  a  knife,  and  cut  the  table- 
cloth between  them.  Frenzied  by  this  insult,  Ulrich  rushed  into  the  middle  of 
the  next  fight,  gains  the  battle  of  Doffingen,  and  is  shin.— Ballad  of  Uhland. 

"  And  while  we  were  celebrating  the  victory  in  our  camp,  what  was  our  old 
Count  doing  ?  Alone  in  his  tent,  weeping  over  the  dead  body  of  his  only  son  !  " 
— Ballad  of  Schiller.

"  The  material  for  my  picture  was  taken  from  a  sketch  made  near  Hastings, 
Westchester  county,  New  York,  twenty  years  ago.  This  picture  was  commenced 
seven  years  ago,  but  until  last  winter  I  had  not  obtained  any  idea  commensurate 
with  the  impression  received  on  the  spot.  The  idea  is  to  represent  an  effect  of 
light  in  the  woods  toward  sundown,  but  to  allow  the  imagination  to  predominate."

THE     PARTHENON. 


Plate  I,  page  55, 

The  Parthenon,  a  Doric  temple  of  white  marble,  erected 
in  honor  of  Minerva  (Athene  Polias),  the  tutelar  deity  of 
Athens,  was  completed  in  the  year  438  B.  C,  16  years  after 
its  commencement.  The  temple  was  built  during  the 
administration  of  Pericles,-  who  employed  Callicrates  and 
Ictinus  as  architects  under  the  direction  of  Phidias,  to 
whom  he  entrusted  all  works  of  magnificence,  and  who  embellished  it  with 
statues  and  bass-reliefs.  It  was  227  feet  long,  101  wide,  and  6^  in  height,  with 
8  pillars  front  and  back,  and  17  on  each  side;  these  pillars  were  42  feet  high  and 
\']}4  in  circumference,  the  distance  between  them  being  7  feet  4  inches. 

The  Frieze  of  the  Parthenon. 
Plate  I  C. 
This  frieze,  in  low  relief,  ran  around  the  top  of  the  inner  faces  of  the  colonnade 
and  outer  wall  of  the  cella  of  the  temple,  yet  within  and  below  the  roof,  and 
39  feet  above  the  pavement. 

As  the  entablature  above  the  outer  columns  descended  4  feet  9  inches  below  the 
lower  edge  of  the  frieze  as  it  was  placed  on  the  wall,  the  frieze  could  only  receive 
its  light  diffused  between  the  columns  and  reflected  upwards  from  the  pavement  of 

56 


CASTS   FROM   ANTIQUE   SCULPTURE.  57 

the  colonnade.  Owing  to  this  circumstance,  as  well  as  to  the  peculiar  position 
of  the  spectator  when  looking  at  the  frieze,  standing  within  the  columns,  the  artist 
was  forced  to  keep  his  relief  very  flat,  so  that  it  only  rises  i  "iy^  inches  from  the 
background,  and  at  the  highest  points  only  2^  inches;  moreover,  it  is  owing  to 
these  circumstances  that  the  relief  was  kept  lowest  in  the  lower  parts  of  the  frieze 
and  highest  in  the  upper  parts,  where  even  sometimes  the  background  is  sunk  to 
gain  a  bolder  relief.  The  frieze  was  over  522  feet  in  length,  running  around  the 
four  sides  of  the  temple. 

Around  the  cornice  of  the  Main  Statuary  Hall  of  this  Gallery  is  placed  194  feet 
of  casts  from  the  original  marble  slabs  of  this  frieie.  The  windows  break  the 
continuity  of  the  casts,  but  on  the  east  and  north  walls  between  the  windows  will 
be  observed  seated  deities  (see  looi  to  1009 J,  virgins  with  offerings,  and  frag- 
mentary groups,  with  sacrificial  oxen  and  charioteers;  the  reliefs  on  the  west  and 
south  walls  present  an  unbroken  line  of  the  young  horsemen  sweeping  along, 
with  here  and  there  a  dismounted  group,  varying  the  action  of  the  cavalcade. 
This  last  section  is  arranged  precisely  as  the  originals  stood  in  the  Parthenon.

The    Western    Pediment. 
Plate  II,  page  5 5. 

The  myth  here  represented  is  as  follows : 

Athene  and  Poseidon  both  claim  the  patronage  over  the  land  of  Attica;  their 
claims  are  to  be  decided  by  some  token,  symbol,  or  sign  of  their  power;  and,  ac- 
cording to  various  traditions,  the  judges  who  are  to  decide  which  of  these  tokens 
contains  the  weightiest  claim  to  the  patronage,  are  either  the  Olympian  gods,  or 
Kekrops  the  hero-king  of  Athens  with  his  family,  or  the  Attic  people  itself. 

There  is  little  doubt  concerning  the  figures  at  the  extreme  angles  of  the  pediment, 
which  are  generally  admitted  to  be,  on  the  left  the  river  god  Kephissos  No.  7  1., 
with  a  nymph  not  extant,  and  at  the  right  angle  the  nymph  (Kallirrhoe)  No.  7  r., 
with  the  river  llissos  No.  6  r.  crouching  beside  her.  The  real  doubt  exists  with 
regard  to  the  remaining  figures  at  either  side.  No.  i  on  the  1.  is  called  by  Michaelis 
and  others,  Kore  holding  the  boy  lakchos  (No.  2),  who  is  turning  towards  the  seated 
female  figure  Demeter  (No.  3),  while  Nos.  4  and  5  are  called  in  the  British  Museum, 
Pandrosos  and  Kekrops,  and  by  Michaelis,  Hygieia  and  Asklepios.  The  corre- 
sponding figures  on  the  other  side  are  called  (No.  i)  Leukothea  with  Palaemon  and 
Eros  in  her  arms,  (No.  2)  Aphrodite  in  the  lap  of  (No.  3)  Thalassa,  No.  4  being  a 
Nereid.  The  other  system  of  interpretation,  first  formed  by  Brunn,  makes  all  the 
figures  on  either  side  of  Nike  and  Amphitrite  partake  of  the  nature  of  the  river 
gods  at  either  angle,  considering  them  personifications  of  Attic  locality.  Of  this 
pedimental  group,  fortunately  drawn  by  Carrey  in  1674,  before  the  destruction  of 
the  Parthenon,  only  more  or  less  fragmentary  remains  of  Athene,  Poseidon,  Hermes, 
Amphitrite,  perhaps  Nike,  and  of  1,6,  and  7  r.,  and  4,  5,  and  6  1.  are  extant  in 
the  British  Museum. 

1010       RIVER  GOD,  KEPHISSOS.  H.  2  ft.  8  in.     L.  6  ft.  4  in. 

Original  Elgin  Marble,  ^40  B.  C.     British  Museum. 

This  figure  stood  in  the  north  angle  of  the  western  pediment  of  the 
Parthenon,  and  is  represented  as  raising  himself  on  an  arm  from  a  re- 
cumbent position,  to  listen  to  the  announcement  of  the  triumph  of 
Minerva  over  Neptune. 

"  This,  one  of  the  most  famous  specimens  of  Greek  sculpture  extant, 
shows  the  combination  of  perfect  modelling  and  grandeur  which  marked 
the  art  of  Phidias,  and  displays  the  care  which  was  bestowed  even 
upon  works  of  mere  decoration.  Note  for  instance  the  remains  of  finish 
even  on  the  back  of  the  statue,  which  could  never  be  seen  in  situ^ 

Note. — The  measurements  of  the  casts  give  the  height  of  the  statues  and  busts 
exclusive  of  their  plinths  or  bases.

The    Eastern    Pediment. 
Plate  II,  page  $8. 

The  subject  represented  in  this  pediment  was,  according  to  Pausanias,  the  birth 
of  Athene.  We  cannot  believe  that  the  moment  represented  was  that  of  the  actual 
birth  of  Athene  out  of  the  head  of  Zeus,  an  incident  sometimes  quaintly  rendered 
on  archaic  vases;  nor  can  we  believe  that  it  was  that  immediately  preceding  the 
birth.  It  must  have  been  the  scene  immediately  succeeding  the  birth,  when  Athene 
stands  fully  armed  before  her  father  and  the  admiring  gods,  as  described  in  the 
Homeric  hymn  to  Athene. 

In  Carrey's  time  the  centre  of  the  pediment  was  no  longer  extant,  and  he  could 
only  give  the  figures  at  the  wings  as  here  rendered  in  Plate  II,  page  58;  but  there 
can  be  little  doubt  that  the  centre  of  the  pediment  was  occupied  by  Zeus  and 
Athene,  with  the  chief  Olympian  gods  and  goddesses  to  their  left  and  right. 

In  this  plate  all  the  extant  figures  from  this  pediment,  now  in  the  British  Mu- 
seum, are  given,  with  the  exception  of  a  nude  male  torso  at  Athens  (Michaelis,  VI, 
H.  Guide  Brit.  Mus.,  Prometheus  or  Hephaistos,  p.  16),  and  the  torso  of  Nike  (?), 
which  has  before  been  ascribed  to  the  western  pediment.  No.  i  1.,  the  draped 
female  figure  rapidly  striding  towards  the  angle,  is  admitted  by  all  to  represent  Iris, 
the  fleet  messenger  of  the  gods,  bringing  the  news  of  the  great  event  from  the 
dwelling  of  the  gods  to  the  figures  seated  in  the  angle.  In  the  case  of  this,  as  in 
that  of  the  western  pediment,  there  are  two  main  groups  of  interpreters  :  those, 
namely,  who  see  in  the  figures  of  the  angles  gods  or  heroes,  and  those  who  con- 
sider them  to  form  subdivisions  of  the  composition  as  a  whole,  clearly  to  be  dis- 
tinguished from  the  central  group,  and  to  be  personifications  of  nature  in  keeping 
with  the  character  of  the  chariot-driving  figures  at  the  extreme  angles,  which  are 
admitted  by  all  to  represent  the  sun  god  and  the  moon  goddess. 

Accordingly  the  seated  figures,  2  and  3  1.,  would  be,  after  Brunn,  the  two  Horae 
who  watch  the  gates  of  Olympus,  the  reclining  nude  male  figure,  4  1.,  would  be 
the  mountain  god  Olympus,  while  the  hitherto  generally  accepted  interpretation 
for  the  two  female  figures,  has  been  Demeter  and  Persephone,  and  for  the  male 
figure,  Theseus,  Dionysos,  or  Herakles.  Nos.  5  and  6  1.  are  universally  admitted 
to  represent  Helios,  the  sun  god,  driving  his  chariot. 

No.  2  r.  represents  Hestia,  the  goddess  of  the  human  hearth,  while  the  female 
figure  4  r.,  reclining  on  the  knees  of  her  seated  companion  3  r.,  is  the  sea,  Thalassa, 
resting  on  the  lap  of  the  earth,  Gaia.  The  current  names  given  to  these  three 
figures  are  the  Three  Fates,  who  were  supposed  to  be  present  at  the  birth,  and 
are  thus  figured  on  the  late  reliefs  in  Madrid  and  Dresden;  5  and  6  r.,  are  ad- 
mitted to  represent  Selene,  the  moon  goddess,  driving  her  chariot. 

In  the  western  pediment,  the  myth  represented  shows  Athene  in  her  local  asso- 
ciation with  Athens;  while  in  the  eastern  pediment,  the  birth  of  Athene  from  the 
head  of  Zeus  has  an  universal  association  with  mankind.  The  one  scene  is  local, 
the  other  cosmical,  as  the  river  gods  with  nymphs  framing  one  scene,  and  the  sun 
and  moon  framing  the  other,  certainly  indicate,  and  as  the  remaining  figures  j!)ro&- 
ahly  do.

It  must  be  remarked,  that  the  prevailing  difference  of  opinion  in  assigning  definite 
names  to  the  single  figures  of  these  pediments,  is  due  not  only  to  the  fact  that  we 
have  no  passage  in  ancient  authors  mentioning  them,  but  that  the  fragmentary 
condition  of  the  statues  has  not  even  supplied  us  with  the  symbols  which  they 
held  in  their  hands,  and  which  made  their  meaning  clear  to  every  child  in  ancient 
Athens. 

The  Parthenon  appears  to  have  remained  in  its  original  condition  until  the  ^th 
or  6th  century  of  our  era,  when  it  was  converted  into  a  Christian  church,  at  first 
of  St,  Sophia,  then  of  the  Virgin  Mary.  The  alterations  necessitated  by  its  new 
dedication  chiefly  concerned  the  interior  of  the  temple,  and  had  little  effect  upon 
the  sculptured  decorations.  The  entrance  was  transplanted  from  the  east  to  the 
west,  an  apse  was  built  at  the  east  end,  and  two  niches  were  placed  in  the  tym- 
panum of  the  western  pediment.  At  the  beginning  of  the  13th  century  it  was 
converted  from  a  Greek  orthodox  into  a  Roman  Catholic  church,  and  in  1458  it 
was  turned  into  a  Turkish  mosque,  a  minaret  being  added  to  the  west  end  of  the 
south  wall.  On  the  whole,  the  building  and  the  sculptured  decorations  remained 
comparatively  intact  until  the  latter  part  of  the  1 7th  century,  when  all  nation- 
alities combined  in  destroying  it.  In  September  1687,  during  the  war  between 
the  Republic  of  Venice  and  Turkey,  the  Venetian  general,  Francisco  Morosini, 
with  an  army  chiefly  of  mercenary  troops  of  all  nationalities,  under  the  imme- 
diate command  of  Count  Koenigsmark,  a  Swedish  general,  laid  siege  to  Athens, 
and  bombarded  the  Acropolis,  whither  the  enemy  had  withdrawn.  Upon  hear- 
ing that  the  Turks  had  stored  powder  in  the  Parthenon,  on  the  26th  of  Sep- 
tember, 1687,  at  seven  o'clock  in  the  evening,  a  German  lieutenant  succeeded  in 
sending  through  the  roof  of  the  Parthenon  a  shell,  which  ignited  the  powder  and 
rent  the  great  temple  asunder,  heaping  fragments  on  either  side.  In  the  year  1800, 
Lord  Elgin,  then  British  ambassador  to  the  Porte,  having  received  permission, 
began  his  work  of  carrying  off  the  Parthenon  marbles.  After  years  of  the  greatest 
vicissitudes,  occasioning  a  vast  expenditure  of  money  on  the  part  of  Lord  Elgin, 
the  sculptures  finally  reached  England  in  1812,  when,  being  forced  to  sell  the  col- 
lection, he  offered  it  to  the  nation  for  the  sum  he  had  actually  expended.  At  last 
it  was  purchased  for  ;,^35,ooo,  a  sum  less  than  half  it  cost  him,  and  now  forms 
the  chief  treasure  of  the  British  Museum. 

The  following  10  casts  are  arranged  as  nearly  as  possible  in  the  position  occupied 
by  the  original  marbles  in  the  east  pediment  of  the  Parthenon : 

loii       HELIOS,  WITH  HIS  HORSES.

At  the  extreme  angle  of  the  pediment  the  neck,  arm,  and  shoulder  of 
Helios,  the  sun  god,  rise  out  of  the  sea,  and  before  him  the  heads  and 
necks  of  his  horses  are  advancing  towards  the  centre  (but  one  of  the 
three  horses  is  here  represented).  Though  there  are  but  small  portions 
of  the  figures  of  horses  and  man,  the  bold  upward  motion  is  completely 
indicated,  and  the  artist  clearly  suggests  that  the  scene  represented  in 
the  pediment  takes  its  beginning  at  this  side  and  concludes  at  the  other. 


62  CASTS   FROM    ANTIQUE   SCULPTURE. 

1012  OLYMPUS,  commonly  called  THESEUS. 

H.  4  ft.  2^  in.     L.  5  ft.  9  in. 
Original  Elgin  Marble,  440  B.  C.     British  Museum. 

The  original  reclined  in  an  angle  of  the  east  pediment,  and  is  uni- 
versally acknowledged,  alike  by  artists  and  by  the  outside  world,  to 
represent  the  highest  stage  of  broad  and  monumental  art  in  the  repre- 
sentation of  the  nude  male  figure. 

1013  TWO  HORAE,  commonly  called  CERES  (or  DEMETER)  and  PROSER- 

PINA (or  PERSEPHONE).  H. . 

Original  Elgin  Marble,  440  B.  C.  British  Museum. 
Guardians  of  the  gates  leading  to  the  dwellings  of  the  gods.  The 
first  of  these  two  figures,  in  her  more  erect  attitude  and  gesture,  mani- 
fests the  attention  she  is  giving  to  the  news  brought  by  the  messenger 
of  the  gods,  Iris;  the  other  figure,  leaning  on  her  shoulder,  has  not  yet 
completely  realized  the  importance  of  the  scene  enacted  in  the  centre. 
Both  these  figures  manifest  in  a  high  degree  the  characteristics  of 
Pheidiac  art. 

1014  IRIS. 

H.  5  ft.  3  in.  Original  Elgin  Marble,  440  B.  C.  British  Museum'. 
The  fleet  messenger  of  the  gods,  rapidly  descending  from  their  abode 
to  proclaim  the  birth  of  Athene,  is  here  represented  as  a  youthful  female 
figure,  clad  in  the  Doric  chiton  open  at  the  sides.  A  short  mantle  is 
flapping  back  in  the  wind,  owing  to  her  rapid  motion,  the  indication  of 
which  is  powerfully  expressed  in  the  whole  composition. 

1015  HESTIA.  H. .     Original  Elgin  Marble.     British  Museum. 

The  common  view  makes  her  one  of  the  Three  Fates;  the  left  arm  of 
this  figure  was  probably  raised  behind  the  shoulder  of  Gaia  and  there 
held  a  sceptre;  the  simple  and  solemn  attitude  of  this  figure  would  well 
correspond  with  the  nature  of  Hestia. 

1016.       THALASSA    and   GAIA,  commonly  called    TWO   OF  THE  THREE 

FATES.  H.  4  ft.  11  in.     L.  7  ft.  7  in. 

Original  Elgin  Marble,  440  B.  C.     British  Museum. 

The  original  occupied  a  position  in  the  angle  of  the  eastern  pediment 

opposite  the  Olympus,     "  Here  the  perfection  of  the  modelling  of  the 

texture  of  drapery  and  the  nude  has  been  attained,  and  this  not  at  the 

cost  of  the  general  breadth  of  composition.     As  regards  the  varied 

treatment  of  drapery,  notice  the  folds  of  the  cloth  upon  which  Thalassa 

is  reclining,  with  its  broader  surfaces,  the  more  elaborate  folding  of  the 


CASTS    FROM    ANTIQUE   SCULPTURE.  63 

upper  garment  round  the  legs,  and  the  varied  play  of  smaller  creases  of 
the  undergarment  as  it  covers  the  breast,  against  the  nude  texture  of 
which  it  is  set  off  in  bold  contrast." 

1017  HEAD  of  one  of  the  horses  of  SILENE.  H.  2  ft.  6  in. 

Original  Elgin  Marble,  440  B.  C.     British  Museum. 

The  head  projected  over  the  cornice  of  the  eastern  pediment,  double 
holes  behind  the  ears,  on  the  nose,  between  the  eyes  and  mouth,  and  on 
the  inner  corner  of  the  mouth  (not  well  represented  in  the  cast)  showed 
where  the  metal  bridle  had  been  affixed. 

"  This  head  has  ever  been  held  as  the  instance  of  sculpture  in  which 
the  combination  of  actual  truth  to  nature  on  the  one  hand  and  the  in- 
sistence upon  the  broad,  important,  and  general  features,  with  the 
avoidance  of  purely  individual  and  ephemeral  traits,  upon  the  other,  has 
been  successfully  attained." 

We  are  indebted  for  much  of  the  foregoing  matter  relating  to  the  Parthenon,  to 
Stuart  and  Revett,  Antiquities  of  Athens;  to  Dr.  William  Liibke,  History  of 
Sculpture;  and  to  the  writings  of  Charles  Waldstein,  Litt.  D.,  Ph.D.,  L.  H.  D., 
Director  of  Fitzwilliam  Museum,  Cambridge. 

1018  THE  DISCOBOLOS  (Quoit-thrower).  H.  5  ft.  ^%  in. 

Original  Bronze,  in  the  British  Museum. 
The  original  statue  was  executed  in  bronze  by  Myron  at  the  close  of 
the  first  period  of  Greek  sculpture,  about  470  B.  C,  and  is  minutely 
described  by  Lucian  and  Quintillian.  The  discus  was  a  round  flat  plate 
of  metal  or  stone,  about  ten  or  twelve  inches  in  diameter.  There  are 
several  antique  copies  in  marble  of  this  figure,  showing  the  head  reverted. 
The  copy  from  which  this  cast  is  taken  was  found  in  1791,  near  Ha- 
drian's Villa. 

1019  DISCOBOLOS.        H.  5  ft.  5^  in.       Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 

The  original  of  this  cast  is  by  Naucydes,  pupil  of  Polycletus,  who 
was  a  pupil  of  Phidias.  The  head  is  supposed  not  to  have  formed  a 
part  of  the  original  figure.  The  fillet  round  the  head  was  the  badge  of 
victory. 

4020      VENUS  OF  MELOS.      H.  6  ft.  8  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre. 

The  original  of  this  cast  was  discovered  in  1820,  in  the  island  of  Milo, 
the  ancient  Melos,  by  a  peasant,  while  digging  near  some  sepulchral 
grottoes.  The  French  consul  tried  to  buy  it,  but  a  cunning  monk  (in 
disgrace  with  the  Sultan)  secured  it  as  a  peace  offering  to  the  Porte. 
While  the  statue  was  on  its  way  to  a  ship,  a  French  frigate  arrived  with 
a  secretary  of  the  French  embassy,  bearing  orders  to  purchase  and  hurry 


64  CASTS   FROM   ANTiaUE   SCULPTURE. 

it  off.  A  fight  occurred  over  it  between  the  French  sailors  and  natives, 
and  the  former  carried  off  the  prize.  The  peasant  received  six  thousand 
francs  for  this  invaluable  statue,  that  went  to  Paris  as  a  present  to 
Charles  X.  it  now  stands  in  the  Louvre,  the  pride  of  Paris,  and  the 
admiration  of  the  world.  Its  sculptor  is  unknown,  but  by  the  grandeur 
of  its  style  it  is  justly  assigned  to  the  era  between  Phidias  and  Praxiteles, 
and  is  considered  the  greatest  statue  of  woman's  form  the  world  now 
holds.  The  plinth,  the  tip  of  the  nose,  and  a  small  part  of  the  lips 
are  the  only  parts  restored.  Parts  of  an  arm  and  hand  were  also 
found,  but  so  mutilated  that,  though  casts  have  been  taken  with  them 
attached,  the  torso  is  declared  by  the  world  better  as  it  is — the  fulness 
of  what  is  left,  and  its  suggested  action,  being  more  satisfactory  than 
any  guess-work  from  an  uninspired  hand. 

Mr.  Ravaisson,  keeper  of  the  Antiques  at  the  Louvre,  thinks  it  prob- 
able that  the  statue  is  part  of  a  group  of  Venus  and  Mars — "Love 
disarming  War" — and  he  has  made  a  cast,  with  the  arms  attached, 
which  it  is  said  confirms  his  theory.  Then,  again,  it  is  asserted  that  a 
small  bronze  copy  of  it  has  been  discovered  in  Pompeii  representing  her 
as  looking  at  herself  in  a  mirror  held  in  her  left  hand. 

Mr.  Millingen,  a  Dutch  antiquary,  thinks  it  a  Victory  holding  a  shield 
with  both  hands,  and  Mr.  Stillman,  a  recent  critic,  contends  that  it  is 
the  Wingless  Victory  that  once  stood  in  the  Temple  of  Nike-Apteros, 
Athens,  and  was  sent  to  Melos  at  the  time  of  a  threatened  invasion. 

The  Venus  of  Capua  in  the  Museo  Bourbonico,  Naples,  is  like  the 
Venus  of  Melos  in  general  form,  but  has  the  head  bent  down  and  the  left 
arm  and  empty  hand  extended  towards  a  Cupid,  who,  with  his  bow, 
stands  before  her.     It  is  believed  to  be  a  modified  copy  of  the  latter. 

All  these  theories,  however,  are  set  at  naught,  and  the  action  of  the 
Venus  of  Melos  settled,  if  there  be  truth  in  the  following  evidence  of 
its  condition  when  found,  as  quoted  by  O'Shea  in  his  "  Galleries  of  the 
Louvre."  The  eminent  traveller,  Dumont  D'Urville,  landed  from  the 
French  frigate  soon  after  its  discovery,  and,  after  an  inspection,  says  in 
his  account  of  it,  published  in  182 1 :  "The  statue  was  in  two  parts,  and 
about  six  feet  high,  representing  a  nude  female  whose  left  band  {raised) 
held  an  apple,  and  the  right  one  held  up  a  tunic  falling  gracefully  from 
the  waist  to  the  feet.  However,  they  (the  hands)  were  mutilated  and 
separated  from  the  body."  An  officer  of  the  man-of-war,  writing  about 
the  statue,  says:  "  When  M.  D'Urville  and  myself  saw  the  statue  it  had 
the  left  arm  raised  in  the  air,  and  holding  in  its  hand  an  apple,  and  the 
right  arm  was  broken  at  its  narrow  part— i  la  saignee.^^  O'Shea  also 
states  that  the  forearm  and  hand  holding  the  apple  are  in  the  store-room 
of  the  Louvre.  This  contemporary  evidence  seems  to  prove  conclusively 
that  the  statue  is  a  Venus  Victrix  in  the  contest  for  the  apple  with  Juno 
and  Minerva.

102 1  VENUS  DE  MEDICI.  H.  5  ft.  Original  Marble,  in  Florence. 

Presented  by  J,  C.  McGuire. 
This  cast,  though  somewhat  injured  by  exposure  to  the  weather,  is 
regarded  as  a  perfect  copy,  its  extreme  fidelity  having  carried  off  a  prize 
in  Italy.  The  original  stands  in  the  Tribunal  of  the  Uffizi,  Florence. 
It  was  found  in  the  15th  century,  and  carried  to  Venice  during  the  reign 
of  Cosmo  di  Medicis — hence  its  name.  When  found  it  was  in  thirteen 
pieces,  and  without  arms.  These  were  supplied,  but  it  is  supposed  by 
many  that  the  position  of  the  original  arms  is  not  given  in  the  substitutes. 
It  was  executed  by  Cleomenes  of  Athens  at  a  period  when  Greek  art 
was  rapidly  declining. 

1022  VENUS  OF  THE  CAPITOL.  H.  5  ft.  11  in. 

Original  Marble,  in  the  Capitoline  Museum,  Rome. 

1023  ARIADNE  DESERTED.  H.  5  ft.  3^  in.     L.  6  ft.  ii>^  in. 

Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 
Ariadne,  daughter  of  Minos,  King  of  Crete,  was  married  to  Theseus^ 
who  deserted  her  at  Naxos.  She  was  afterwards  loved  by  Bacchus,  and 
married  to  him.  For  three  centuries  the  statue  adorned  a  fountain  in  the 
Vatican.  It  now  stands  on  an  ancient  sarcophagus,  the  sides  of  which 
represent,  in  bass-reliefs,  giants  destroyed  by  thunderbolts.  Liibke  as- 
signs the  execution  of  this  statue  to  the  period  of  Augustus  Caesar. 

1024  EUTERPE.  H.  4  ft.  6  in. 

Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre.     Was  once  in  the  Villa  Borghese. 
The  Inventress  of  song  and  wind  instruments. 

1025  DIANA  DI  GABIA.      H.  6  ft.  5.  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre. 

This  statue  takes  its  name  from  the  place  where  it  was  found  in  1 792. 
It  is  also  called  Atlanta  adjusting  her  robe. 

1026  GENIUS  OF  THE  VATICAN. 

H.  2  ft.  ^}4  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 
This  work  was  found  at  Centicelli,  between  Rome  and  Palasstrina, 
and  has  been  by  some  pronounced  an  Eros,  or  Cupid,  by  Praxiteles. 
It  represents  that  dreamy  state  when  the  form  is  passing  into  young 
manhood. 

1027  ABUNDANCE,  or  PLENTY. 

H.  6  ft.  II  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 
It  has  the  cornucopia  in  the  left  hand,  while  the  right  holds  a  ruddei 
resting  on  a  globe,  thus  indicating  Commerce  as  a  source  of  Plenty. 


66  CASTS   FROM    ANTiaUE   SCULPTURE. 

1028  MINERVA.  H.  7  ft.  3  in.  Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 

This  statue  of  the  goddess  of  wisdom,  of  war,  and  all  liberal  arts  is 
often  called  Minerva  Medica.  The  serpent  is  a  special  attribute  of 
Minerva  as  an  emblem  of  wisdom.  The  griffin  is  also  sacred  to  her, 
and  appears  on  her  helmet. 

1029  GENIUS  OF  ETERNAL  REST. 

H.  5  ft.  II  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre. 
The  original  of  this  cast  formerly  belonged  to  Cardinal  Mazarin.     The 
figure  leans  against  a  pine  tree,  the  resin  of  which  was  used  in  funeral 
ceremonies. 

1030  GERMANICUS,         H.  5  ft.  11  in.        Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 

Found  on  the  Esquiline  at  Rome  ;  bought  by  Louis  XIV. 
Germanicus  was  emperor  of  the  eastern  division  of  the  Roman  Empire, 
A.  D.  19,  and  celebrated  for  his  military  genius,  learning,  and  benevo- 
lence. Some  consider  it  to  be  a  statue  of  a  Roman  orator,  in  the 
character  of  Mercury,  the  god  of  eloquence,  of  whom  the  tortoise 
below  the  drapery  is  an  emblem.  It  is  inscribed,  ''  Cleomenes,  son  of 
Cleomenes,  made  this."  The  head  is  supposed  by  some  not  to  be  the 
original  one.  No  published  authority  seems  to  have  explained  the 
action  of  the  right  arm  and  uplifted  hand,  holding  a  small  substance  like 
a  bean.  It  is  supposed  that  the  figure  represents -some  solemn  decision 
by  the  vote  of  the  emperor. 

1031  ANTINOUS  OF  THE  CAPITOL. 

H.  5  ft.  10^  in.  Original  Marble,  in  the  Capitol, 
Antinous  was  a  handsome  youth,  beloved  by  the  Emperor  Hadrian, 
to  whom  he  was  so  much  attached  that  he  drowned  himself  in  the  Nile 
to  save  his  imperial  master  from  the  death  foretold  to  him,  unless  saved 
by  such  a  sacrifice.  Hadrian  immortalized  his  favorite  by  raising  temples 
and  statues  to  his  memory. 

1032  THE  FIGHTING  HERO,  or  GLADIATOR. 

H.  5  ft.,  and  from  head  to  foot,  6  ft.  6  in. 
Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre. 
This  statue  was  found  on  the  coast  near  Antium,  early  in  the  17th 
century,  very  near  the  spot  where,  a  century  before,  the  Apollo  Belve- 
dere was  found.  The  stem  supporting  it  is  inscribed  in  Greek  letters, 
"  Agasias,  son  of  Dositheas,  of  Ephesus,  made  me  ;"  and  therefore  it  is 
a  specimen  of  Greek  sculpture  of  the  Fourth  Epoch,  that  ended  with 
the  Roman  conquest.  It  is  now  asserted  that  this  statue  does  not 
represent  a  gladiator,  but  a  foot-soldier,  defending  himself  against  a 
horseman ;  and  that  gladiators  were  principally  slaves,  who  fought  with 


CASTS    FROM    ANTiaUE   SCULPTURE.  67 

more  or  less  armor.  Viardot  insists  that  it  is  Greek,  and  represents  an 
athlete  of  the  Hellenic  games,  gladiators  not  being  known  to  that  people, 
but  were  of  Roman  origin. 

1033  GROUP  OF  LAOCOON  AND  HIS  SONS.^ 

H.  6  ft,   Yi  in.  to  top  of  head.     Date  probably  B.  C.  100. 
Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 

This  cast  was  made  for  and  presented  to  George  the  Fourth.  The 
original  was  executed  by  three  sculptors — Agesandros,  Atheodoros,  and 
Polydoros  (Agesandros  being  probably  the  father  of  the  other  two).  It 
was  found  in  1506,  in  the  ruins  of  the  Palace  of  Titus,  on  the  Esquiline, 
Rome,  and  the  Pope  ordered  a  public  festival  in  honor  of  its  discovery. 
Laocoon  was  a  priest  of  Apollo,  and  the  god  being  offended,  sent  two 
serpents,  which  killed  him  and  his  two  sons  at  the  altar,  while  offering 
sacrifice  to  Neptune. . 

The  right  arm  of  Laocoon  was  wanting  in  the  group  as  found.  One 
in  terra  cotta,  by  Bernini,  was  substituted.  Michael  Angelo  designed 
one  in  marble,  but  never  finished  it.  Liibke  and  other  writers  insist 
that  the  right  arm  was  not  originally  in  the  position  given  to  it  by  the 
great  sculptor,  but  was  bent  down  behind  the  head,  which  was  thus 
supported  by  the  hand  in  that  moment  of  exhausted  agony.  This 
position  of  the  arm  is  often  given  in  engravings. 

1034  APOXYOMENOS.     H.  6  ft.  5^^  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican, 

This  cast  represents  an  athlete  scraping  from  his  arm  with  the  strigil 
the  sand  and  oil  of  the  arena.  Athletes  were  contestants  in  the  public 
games,  and  before  entering  the  arena  rubbed  their  naked  bodies  over 
with  oil.  The  original,  in  bronze,  executed  by  Lysippos,  was  found  in 
the  Trastavere,  Rome,  in  1849.  Agrippa  had  it  placed  in  front  of  the 
Thermae,  near  the  Pantheon,  and  it  was  so  popular  that  when  Tiberius 
attempted  its  removal  to  his  own  residence,  the  people  rose  and  for- 
bade it. 

It  is  believed  that  the  five-spot  on  the  die  (tessera)  held  out  in  the 
right  hand  signifies  that  the  figure  came  out  fifth  in  the  contest,  though 
Waldstein  says  the  die  was  placed  in  the  restored  right  hand  on  the 
strength  of  a  misinterpretation  of  some  words  of  Pliny. 

1035  BUST  OF  NERO.         H.  i  ft.  1 1  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre. 

1036  AJAX,  or  MENELAUS.  H.  2  ft.  3>^in. 

Original  Marble,  in  the  British  Museum. 
This  bust  has  been  erroneously  called  Ajax,     It  was  found  in   177k 
by  Mr.  Gavin  Hamilton  in  the  Pantinella,  Hadrian's  Villa. 


68  CASTS   FROM   ANTIQUE   SCULPTURE. 

1037  SILENUS  HOLDING  THE  INFANT  DIONYSOS. 

H.  6  ft.  4  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre. 
The  original  of  this  cast  was  found  in  the   1 6th  century  in  Rome,  in 
the  gardens  of  Sallust.     The  hands,  half  of  the  right  forearm,  and  right 
toes  of  Silenus,  and  left  leg  of  Dionysos  are  restorations. 

1038  VENUS  KALLIPYGE. 

H.  5  ft.  I  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Naples  Museum. 
So  called  from  the  Greek  definition  of  its  peculiar  character.     It  was 
once  in  the  Farnese  Palace,  Rome.     The  head  and  the  right  leg  below 
the  knee  are  supposed  to  be  restorations. 

1039  BOY  WITH  GOOSE. 

H.  2  ft.  g%,  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 
Found  in  1 789,  at  Civita  Vecchia,  Appian  Way,     It  is  thought  to  be 
copied  from  a  bronze  work  by  Boetius,  of  Carthage.     Heads  of  the 
child  and  goose,  with  the  wing  tips,  are  restorations. 

1040  YOUTH  SUPPLICATING. 

H.  4  ft.  2)4.  in.     Original  Bronze,  at  Berlin. 
The  original  of  this  statuette  is  said  to  have  been  found  in  the  Tiber. 
From  Clement  XI  it  passed  through  several  hands  to  the  King  of  Prussia. 
The  right  hand  and  part  of  the  forearm  are  restorations. 

1041  ACHILLES  BORGHESE. 

H.  6  ft.  9  in.  Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre. 
The  original  of  this  cast  was  formerly  in  the  Villa  Borghese,  whence 
its  name.  Its  proper  name  is  doubtful.  Clarac  thought  it  a  copy  of  a 
bronze  by  Alcamenes,  favorite  pupil  of  Phidias.  Visconti  first  gave  it 
the  name  of  Achilles,  but  Winkelman  thinks  it  a  statue  of  Mars,  and 
that  the  ring  or  anklet  indicated  the  custom  of  the  Spartans  of  chaining 
up  the  God  of  War,  "  that  he  might  never  leave  them." 

1042  MERCURY.  H.  6  ft.  6  in.  Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 

This  statue  was  once  called  Antinous,  but  Visconti  has  proved  it  to 
be  Mercury.  It  was  found  on  the  Esquiline  Hill,  near  the  baths  of  Titus. 
The  right  arm  and  left  hand  were  never  restored,  but  the  right  thigh  and 
both  lower  legs  are  modern. 

(043      CROUCHING  VENUS. 

H.  2  ft.  8X  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 
The  original  statuette  was  found  at  Salone,  on  the  road  from  Rome 
to  Palestrina.     The  left  hand,  right  forearm,  and  upper  part  of  the  head 
are  modern.

modelled  after  the  head  of  the  statue  of  Jupiter,  by  Phidias,  at  Elis, 
which  stood  for  eight  hundred  years,  until  it  was  destroyed  in  the  fifth

H.  4  ft.  10)4  in.  Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre. 
350  B.  C.  Is  mentioned  by  Pliny  as  a  work  of  Praxiteles.  "  The 
meaning  of  the  lizard  is  somewhat  doubtful.  It  is  known  that  the 
lizard  had  certain  magic  properties  attributed  to  it,  and  was  used  in 
incantations;  but  in  this  group  many  critics  prefer  to  see  only  a  genre 
subject — Apollo,  as  a  boy,  trying  to  '  stalk '  and  pierce  the  lizard,  simply 
as  an  exercise  of  agility,  the  animal  being  extremely  quick  in  its  move- 
ments."— llValdstein.]

another  in  the  Vatican,  and  it  is  doubtful  which  is  the  copy.     The 
winged  figure  is  thought  by  Viardot  to  be  a  Bacchus,  and  not  Cupid,  as 
he  has  an  ivy-wreath.

Original  Marble,  in  the  Capitoline  Museum,  Rome. 
It  is  supposed  to  be  a  copy  of  the  bronze  figure,  by  Ctesilaus,  of  the 
School  of  Pergamus,  246  B.  C,  who  chiefly  represented  battles  with 
the  Gauls  that  invaded  Asia  Minor.     It  is  also  said  that  it  represents  a

dess is  represented  nude  to  the  waist,  wringing  the  water  from  her  locks. 
The  figure  was  thought  by  Visconti  to  have  been  copied  from  a 
painting  by  Apelles,  and  a  bronze  statue  found  at  Herculaneum  in  the 
Naples  Museum  resembles  it.

modern  part.     The  left  hand  is  supposed  to  have  held  the  caduceus.

1069  APOLLO  BELVEDERE. 

H.  7  ft.  I  in.  Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 
The  original  of  this  statue  was  discovered  at  Cape  d'Anzo  (Antium) 
in  1503.  Bought  by  Julius  II,  when  still  a  cardinal,  it  was  placed  by  him, 
when  Pope,  in  the  Belvedere  of  the  Vatican.  The  name  of  its  sculptor 
is  unknown.  Its  date  is  placed  at  B.  C.  279.  Canova  and  Visconti 
think  it  is  a  copy  from  an  ancient  bronze  by  Calamus.  The  left  hand 
and  wrist,  and  the  fingers  of  right  hand  were  restored  by  G.  A.  da 
Montorsoli,  pupil  of  Michael  Angelo.  Undoubtedly  many  copies  of 
the  original  were  made,  and  a  bronze  copy  discovered  in  1 792  at  Para- 
mythia,  and  now  at  St.  Petersburg,  in  the  judgment  of  some  has 
changed  entirely  the  meaning  of  the  action  of  the  figure.  Apollo  is 
here  represented  as  holding  a  bow  and  discharging  an  arrow  at  the  ser- 
pent Python,  sent  by  Juno  to  destroy  his  mother,  Latona.  In  the  bronze 
statuette  referred  to,  there  is  no  tree  trunk  (necessary  to  support  a  figure 
in  marble),  but  the  left  hand  holds  a  shield  bearing  the  head  of  Medusa, 
supposed  to  turn  all  gazers  into  stone,  and  which  Homer,  in  the  Iliad, 
XV,  318,  says  Jupiter  lent  to  Apollo.  Dr.  Liibke  accepts  this  explana- 
tion of  the  action  of  the  figure,  and  says,  "Not  until  now  have  we 
understood  the  statue. "  Waldstein  says :  * '  The  statue  is  not  an  original 
work,  but  a  copy,  whether  from  bronze  or  marble  is  uncertain." 

1070  COLOSSAL  MASK  OF  JUNO.  H.  3  ft.  3  in. 

From  a  copy,  in  marble,  in  the  Villa  Ludovisi,  Rome,  of  the  original 
statue  by  Polycletus,  the  Argive  sculptor,  about  423  B.  C. 

1 07 1  MELEAGER,  H.  6  ft.  6%  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 

The  original  was  found  in  Rome,  and  is  supposed  to  be  of  the  time

1072  BUST  OF  MENELAUS,  or  AJAX. 

H.  3  ft.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 
The  original  of  this  bust  was  found  at  Hadrian's  Villa,  Tivoli,  and  is 
commonly,  but  erroneously,  known  as  Ajax.     Visconti  satisfactorily 
proved  it  to  be  Menelaus.     Bass-reliefs  of  Hercules  fighting  with  Cen- 
taurs are  on  the  helmet. 

1073  TORSO  OF  HERCULES  (the  BELVEDERE  TORSO). 

H.  4  ft.  \}4.  in.  Original  Marble,  in  the  Vatican. 
The  original  of  this  torso  was  found  near  the  end  of  the  1 5th  century 
in  the  Campo  di  Fiori  at  Rome,  near  the  site  of  Pompey's  Theatre,  from 
which  it  most  likely  came.  It  is  celebrated  as  having  been  the  subject 
of  Michael  Angelo's  constant  study.  From  an  inscription  on  its  base 
it  was  made  by  Appollonius,  son  of  Nestor,  Athens.

This  statue  has  been  called  Mercury,  and  Cincinnatus,  but  is  now

his  father's  throne,  and  who  had  been  warned  by  an  oracle  to  beware  of

H.  6  ft.  6  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre.     1560. 

Germain  Pilon. 

This  example  of  the  Renaissance  of  French  sculpture  was  executed  for  Catharine 
of  Medicisin  memory  of  her  husband,  Henry  II  of  France,  whose  heart  was  placed 
in  the  original  urn,  supported  on  the  heads  of  the  three  female  figures,  standing 
back  to  back,  with  linked  hands,  upon  a  triangular  pedestal.  These  figures  rep- 
resent Catharine  herself,  the  Duchess  d'Etampes,  and  Madame  Villeroy,  three  of 
the  fairest  women  of  that  time.  This  work  was  cut  out  of  a  single  block  of  marble. 
The  pedestal  was  made  by  a  different  hand,  and  bears  on  its  three  faces  inscrip- 
tions in  Latin,  to  the  following  effect: 

"Here  Catharine  has  deposited  the  heart  of  the  king,  her  husband,  wishing  she 
could  bury  it  in  her  own  bosom." 

''The  united  heart  of  both  testifies  before  men  enduring  love — a  subdued  spirit 
before  God." 

"  The  Three  Graces  (or  Charities)  rightfully  bear  on  their  heads  a  heart  once  the 
seat  of  the  graces  (or  charities) — a  heart  that  aspired  to  the  highest  things." 

This  monument  formerly  stood  in  the  Chapelle  d'Orleans,  Church  of  the  Ce- 
lestins.

THE  PRISONERS,  or  SLAVES. 

H.  7  ft,  3  in.     Original  Marble,  in  the  Louvre. 

Michael  Angelo. 

These  statues  were  designed  for  a  grand  monument  to  Pope  Julius  11,  planned 

by  M.  Angelo,  but  never  executed.     The  artist  gave  them  to  a  friend  who  had 

nursed  him  in  illness,  and  he  presented  them  to  Francis  I,  who,  in  turn,  gave  them 

to  the  Constable  Montmorency  for  his  Chateau  d'Ecouen.     During  the  troubles  of 

the  Revolution  in   1 793  they  were  found  in  the  stables  of  the  Due  de  Richelieu, 

and  were  bought  for  the  Republic.     They  are  now  in  the  Louvre,  and  are  the  only 

great  works  of  M.  Angelo  in  France.     They  were  taken  to  Florence  in   1875  to 

swell  the  memorials  of  the  sculptor's  mighty  genius  at  the  centennial  celebration 

of  his  birthday.

Lorenzo,  and  of  Day  and  Night  under  Giuliano.  Reduced  copies  of  these  sym-

CASE    A. 

THE     HILDESHEIM     TREASURES. 

Ehctrotyped  by  Christofle  &■  Co.,  Paris. 

These  are  electrotype  reproductions  of  ancient  vessels 
found  on  the  site  of  a   Roman   camp,    near   Hildesheim,  Hanover. 

On  the  17th  of  October,  1868,  some  soldiers,  while  digging  near 
their  camp  on  the  slope  of  Galgen,  found,  at  the  depth  of  ten  feet, 
some  bits  of  metal  that  proved  to  be  silver.  Further  search  discovered 
tv^o  large  bell-shaped  vases  or  bowls,  inverted,  under  which  were 
other  vessels  and  fragments,  strangely  heaped  together,  the  feet  and 
handles  being  detached  from  the  vessels  to  which  they  belonged, 
and  all  much  corroded  by  the  infiltration  of  a  wet  soil. 

They  were  restored  by  an  expert  as  nearly  as  possible  to  their  original 
condition,  and  subsequently  taken  to  the  Royal  Museum  at  Berlin. 
Their  discovery  made  a  great  sensation,  and  it  was  at  first  supposed 
that  the  original  Treasures  were  part  of  the  dinner  service  of  Varus, 
the  Roman  general,  who  was  defeated  by  the  Germans,  under  Ar- 
minius,  near  Hildesheim,  in  the  year  A.  D.  9,  but  the  style  of  some  of 
the  pieces  was  so  evidently  of  a  later  date  that  the  idea  is  now  aban- 
doned. The  design  and  workmanship  of  most  of  them  certainly  show 
their  extreme  antiquity.
